In 2017 we traveled to Kearney, MO to see the eclipse. 2024...we sat in our backyard in Jasper IN. My husband and I got Twice in a Lifetime t-shirts to commemorate having seen both.

West central Ohio. We sat in our yard and had over 3 min of totality. A true once in a lifetime experience. I am sooo glad I took off work to be with my family and experience it. Thanks for sharing your eclipse story!

That is awesome and even better that you were family!

Thank you for taking us along on your eclipse trip. I was just west of where you were in Russellville, Arkansas. I viewed it with a friend out at Lake Dardanelle SP and then wandered the slow route home and camped 2 more nights in the minivan. Yes I topped off my tank the day before the eclipse, but I really did not feel there would be any shortage of gas. The traffic on my way back north was almost nonexistent... so much for listening to the news. Iceland or Spain either one would be a wonderful place to view an eclipse. Thank you again for documenting your experience. Safe travels.

My mom and step dad are retired and live in the gulf of Texas in Harlingen, so I flew down on Easter from Portland, Oregon. Worked remote for a week and then we drove up to Fredericksburg, a bit north of San Antonio, to be in the path of totality. It was SO worth it. It was like experiencing a 24 hour day in 4 & half minutes! It felt like we went from afternoon to late evening to dawn! My friend in Seymour, Indiana (I am born/raised in Westfield, IN and graduated from Purdue) said it was so wild that the cows on their farm started to walk back to the barn thinking it was evening feeding time. I read that animals would be particularly impacted by the eclipse.

Sounds great!

We took our camper van to Vermont for the eclipse. It was great!

I was by Rose Bud Arkansas and it was very surreal. I was standing in the middle of a less travelled roat.

I was right in the center line of totality near Cleveland. The temp drop was a bit shocking and the Prominences could be seen with the naked eyes during totality. The heavens declare the glory of God! Looks like you all had a fabulous time. Those pies looked Awesome!

watching the eclipse at Vanstock! that was cool. I live in central Texas and got to see the eclipse for about a minute and a half. it was really incredible. very fortunate to see it because it was quite cloudy most of the day but we had an eclipse miracle at just the right time!

We caught the 2017 eclipse, about a 15 mile drive for us to experience totality. Definitely worth it, would have loved to catch the 2024 but "the stars didn't align" to make that happen 😅

We saw the total 2024 eclipse from Abbot Maine, just south of Moosehead Lake. Totally clear skies!

We watched the eclipse at Lincoln State Park campground just west of Santa Claus, IN (not too far from your neck of the woods I believe). There was approx 2 minutes of totality and you’re right; a partial eclipse doesn’t compare to a total eclipse!!! It was incredible!

There’s no comparison between the two. How was Santa Clause? We’ve been talking about going down there in Fall to check it out

@@Weretherussos - Do you mean the town of Santa Claus or Holiday World (formerly known as Santa Claus World)? I don’t know much about the town but visited Holiday World numerous when our grandsons were little. Holiday World is clean, the employees are friendly, there is a water park included, the rides are great, and it’s fairly priced. They have their own very nice campground but we prefer Lincoln State Park (much quieter) and it’s a short 15-20 minutes away.

Wonderful fun event you had. ❤

Why be embarrassed? You do you

Perhaps you should have come to Exmouth, Western Australia, last year for the total eclipse. The tiny town with a population of 3200, had over 20,000 people camped up to watch the event.

We drove 4 hours to the Eastern Shore, camped at a state park in Maryland, and went to Wallops Island. There we saw an approximate 80% eclipse and also watched the launch of 3 sounding rockets. Not a 100% eclipse but a good time nonetheless. We saw the total eclipse in 2017.
